I like the photo, I just don't feel the title is apropos, not that I would deduct for something like that. B&w is a good choice here.

Milk, it does a body good? Well, it's a different angle than some of the others I've seen, and you've captured a nice splash effect. I don't know if it's the reflection from the bowl or what but it seems overly blue, and a bit on the dim side.

I like the ring reflections on the wall. It might be a good idea to explore those reflections further (get in closer, remove distracting elements, work on greater contrast). I wonder, do they (the reflections) show up with colours if you don't convert to b/w? Colourful ring reflections could make a neat picture. I'm thinking of a slightly higher up shot, just part of the bottles, lots of reflections, cropped to a square, white mat. Who knows. Might work, then again, maybe not. Something to try :)

This shot has a lot of potential if all the little minor things are corrected. Cropping in tighter will get rid of the reflections on the wall from the bottles, take a little more time and make sure your focus is sharp and clear, it seems a bit soft but might even be correctable using an unsharpening mask in post editing also I am thinking you may have taken this in low light and a tripod can also help with the focusing. Also when taking something like this make sure you get all specks of dirt off the surface there are two black spots in the image that probably can be wiped away.

As for meeting the challege it doesn't really say Home Sweet Home it says wine cellar to me. Take your time and work on focusing, also if you need help correcting minor things in post editing just ask, cause most of the problems in your image are easily corrected with Photoshop or PaintShopPro.

Keep practicing and don't be afraid to experiment, welcome to DPChallenge also =o) wish my first entry would have scored as well as yours did.

This is blue milk. I think it's called skim, but ... unnatural looking.

maybe IMO composition could be a little bit better by moving point of "touch" a little upper and right. Also it looks like you were using smaller F number, so left side of the image is a little bit blurry. = 7

I don't like the ring reflections on the wall, I think that is distracting to the quality of the photo, and it also doesn't make me think of home.
